Our History

Background 
A couple of friends who held common interests and enjoyed the freedom of motorcycling started the company in 1997. Initially, the company was nothing more than a hobby that gave the partners an excuse to ride to motorcycle events across the country in search for potential products. In 2002, the partners left their executive corporate positions and decided to turn the hobby into their "dream" business.
